They say: Twin asymmetric magne-traction banana for ducks!We say: Gnu’s park slaying machine. The banana profile keeps it frisky, while the magne-traction and asymmetric side-cut help it hold an edge. A bit too stiff for most novices.Tester says: So sick. Obviously rips park, but surprisingly good for carving too.

About Gnu

Building boards since: 1977

HQ: Sequim, WA, USA

History lesson: This brand can genuinely lay claim to having played a significant role in the history of snowboard development, and continuing to do so to this day. Its founder Mike Olson built his first board in high school in 1977 and soon set up Mervin Manufacturing with his surfing buddy Pete Saari. Shortly afterwards, Olson and Saari began writing the name Gnu on their creations, because, as Olson explained, it was short, punchy, and “I really liked wildebeest”.

Ridden by: Shred-heads who like their boards to be built by shred-heads, and their brands to be as organic as a bunch of hippies crapping in a field.
